I've noticed that the spell checker in OpenOffice will often suggest words that are not words. For example:
u nessary will be suggested for a mispelling of "unecessary". These type of "nonwords" are never suggested in the StarOffice 8 spell checker. This kind of "funkiness" leads me to suspect that the spell checker in StarOffice might be better at identifying and correcting mispelled words. Is that true?
